DX Soft Vinyl Zaku II Mass Production Type






DX Soft Vinyl Zaku II Mass Production Type - For fans of Gundam old school sofubi type, there’s Zaku in its retro version standing at 18cm in height…7 points of articulation there’s not much use for the legs. I took some pics of the arms movements… Not so pointy spikes that’s won’t poke your tender fingers 😂 This is for you if you are into chunky mecha figure that’s safe of drop test or simply a Zeon sympathizer in disguise 💚 I hope Bandai will make DX Soft Vinyl GM in future…

Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man x Unbox Industries Ghostbusters x Punk Drunkers





Who do you call ☎️ when uncool is cool 👻… Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man x Unbox Industries Ghostbusters x Punk Drunkers… A parody of the giant, lumbering, and paranormal monster Marshmallow Man fused with PDS’ signature Aitsu character and his distinctive face, hair and pants… Marshmallow Man is now weirder and cuter… Ugly but adorable… Standing 10” and really easy to handle… Brought it to central fire station for toy photography hoping for more movie vibes cos I thought the headquarter of The Real Ghostbusters is Beaux-Arts style firehouse from 1903 🚒

Toy Pizza Diamond Mega Knight






Diamond Mega Knight is a purchase tribute to Toy Pizza 🍕host Jesse, Nicky and Jack who take everyone on a tour-de-force blitzkrieg of all plastic… They are considered some of the pioneers on YouTube channel producing videos related to toy collection and indie toys. Some of the toys featured by them became my wishlist! Even though they have gone slow these days, It’s still cool for me to revisit their past video once in a while… 

Toy Pizza had produced many of their own toys as well (mainly Glyos® or 3.75”) and Knights of the Slice should be iconically their mascot. Why so because they were featured previously at Wonder Festival Japan. I referring to the 1000 Toys x Toy Pizza Knights of the Slice articulated figures that were also sold at Super Festival and Five Points Festival… I personally prefer bigger toys that why I settled for this vinyl 8” Mega Knight that is close to a Sofubi toy… 

In my opinion, the design of Mega Knight is like a beefed up, muscular version of Knights of the Slice with strong influences of lucha libre wrestlers known as luchadores… As for the choice of colors, definitely wife’s pick as she likes Tiffany 😅 Pizza 🍕 out!

Kiryu / Mecha Godzilla Heavily Armed Type 3 (2003)

 




Just collected my preorder yesterday and here’s Movie Monster Series Mecha Godzilla Heavily Armed Type 3 (2003) … The Japanese called it Kiryu… A special purple chrome color version painted in colors reminiscent of / inspired by Evangelion Unit-01… Entire soft vinyl figure is painted even with those yellow toe nails and green parts nicely presented in solid colors. Not very big in size as figure stands at 18cm (typically sized Bandai kaiju soft vinyl figure) but comes in pretty big box that’s protected in shipping brown box 📦

Dream on Studio No.210 Hunter獵殺者





Dream on Studio No.210 Hunter獵殺者 - JingHai has discovered this unfinished robot when she cleaned up her brother WenAn’s relic. According to WenAn’s diary, she realized her brother built this robot to fight the tyrannical government. At the time she met Chiwen, JingHai reboot the robot, name it as No.210 (Feb,10th is WenAn’s commemoration day), and it turns to be the most powerful heavy weapon of Dream on organization. 

The design takes inspiration from super sentai robot like Five Robo, Bio Robo, Daidenjin or Dynaman Robot. It’s comforting from the artist who hint that we inevitably would go through some form of pain and suffering in our life. Hoping toy brings joy and comfort to adulthood and back to fun memories playing toys as a child.

SD Zenorisu Sofubi





Zenorisu - A toy that caught my attention when browsing through Devil Toys booth during POP Toy Show (PTS). Something that I buy on first impression then find out more after my purchase… It fits well with my collection of future soldiers sofubi… It also possesses that medieval vibes… A friend told me that adding panel lines or dry brushing will enhance its appearance even more… Devil Toys collaboration with famous Japanese original cosplayer “AUDOirregulars” to turn a series of armor suits designed by him into collectible action figures. Since Mr. バァドゥ’s design is extremely complex, more time was needed dismantling each part and re-designing the cosplay armor to further improve the level of detail and enhance the realism. Following the Zenorisu 1:12 articulated figure series, Devil Toys has further expanded the AUTO irregulars universe with the all-new Sofubi line, which will be launched in a limited edition at ACGHK.

Maschinen Krieger Ma.K Sofubi






A slight upgrade of my Maschinen Krieger Ma.K from trading figurine to a middle size sofubi. Probably get a painted version in future if I have more budget or if see one at irresistible pricing. I might add some panel lines when I have the spare time… Meanwhile, this is the raw form… 165mm… 11 parts … 8 points of articulation… Siccaluna Koubou… Made in Tokyo... Maschinen Krieger Ma.K is a science fiction universe created by Japanese artist and sculptor Kow Yokoyama in the 1980s.

Planet X -2020 UFO Warrior Atlantus

 










Planet X -2020 UFO Warrior Atlantus (atlanger color)… I’m attracted to the old school super robot style design… The head especially resembles Grendizer… Nice chrome and metallic finish to some aparts. This mecha sofubi has a hefty size and drill weapon suggests its raw melee power. I can smell the vibes of Gurren Lagann in the air. Drill to the heavens and beyond. The forearm also reminded me of Mazinger Punch! The foot of the sofubi bears the production company trade mark and logo. I do not know the backstory of the toy yet I took a strong liking to it.
